WEEKLY CLASS SCHEDULE: VIEW CALENDAR

CLASS LISTINGS: HERE

MQuan Studio CLAY SCHOOL is housed in an old service station with big windows on Route 212 halfway between Woodstock & Saugerties in NY.

Classes are small with a focus on the why. We offer a 4-class basic clay series and workshops exploring symbols, ideas or specific forms to apply these ceramic techniques to.

There are two main techniques for clay work- throwing vessels on the wheel, and building work by hand. In hand-building the material is immediately responsive and small successes can be quick. Learning to throw vessels on the wheel has a steeper learning curve and generally takes more time to practice and build up muscle memory.

Each has its own rhythm and visual results but for both, learning how clay works is key.  The library of clay making is expansive. There is much to explore and learn, many twists and turns, cracks and successes, mishaps and happy accidents.

At Clay School we are interested in helping you finding your voice, your work, and your hand as you learn to work in clay.
